Castelion的动态

This video captures perfectly what Castelion is doing. As we return to an era of Great Power competition, it is essential that America have these capabilities. The CCP is is the most powerful economic adversary the US has ever faced, and their paranoid totalitarian ideology is incompatible with Natural Law and the rights of man. Hence their increasingly aggressive actions in the Pacific and in the grey-war they've been waging on us for decades. Affordable, mass-produced, long-range hypersonics are a key part of the military capabilities we need to deter the CCP and if necessary, defeat them decisively in battle. With three kids in uniform, no one wants to prevent a fight more than me. Credible deterrence is how you do it. As the Romans said, "If you want peace, prepare for war." Peace through strength is the modern way to say the same. Let's do this.

??? Big news: AscendArc raises $4M to redefine GEO communications! ???? Today, we’re emerging from stealth with a mission: to revolutionize satellite communications with small, high-performance GEO satellites. While the industry races to LEO, we’re taking a different approach—one that prioritizes cost efficiency and high-bandwidth connectivity where it matters most. With $4M in funding, backed by Seraphim Space, Everywhere Ventures, Portland Seed Fund, Thermo, and Hunter Communications, we’re ready to prove that small GEO can be a game-changer. A huge thank you to our investors, team, and supporters who believe in this vision. Stay tuned. We’re just getting started! ?? #GEO #SatelliteInnovation #SpaceTech #AscendArc?

The past week brought good news for defense industry companies, when the government announced that it had created a 100 million euro defense industry fund. The fund is intended primarily for startups operating in the defense industry to support their investments. The state-owned fund management company Smartcap will make investments. It also wants to involve private investors through private funds. The fund is ready to invest up to 10 million euros per company. According to Kalev Koidum?e, CEO of?the Estonian Defence and Space Industry Association, the defense industry has so far found it difficult to raise money because restrictions do not allow the money to be used for the development of lethal technology. There is no such restriction when receiving funding from the created defense industry fund.

Radiant, who just raised $100m series C, began the pre-application process for its Kaleidos microreactor with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in October 2022. In February 2023, Radiant participated in a public meeting with the NRC to discuss the Kaleidos, along with their business and licensing plans, and submitted a Regulatory Engagement Plan to outline their approach to obtaining the necessary approvals, initially leveraging a testing pathway at Idaho National Lab to bypass full NRC processes. For broader commercialization, Radiant will face the challenge of navigating the stringent NRC approval process, which requires intensive resources and carries the hurdle of public safety perception. Radiant’s technology is based on proven high-temperature gas-cooled reactors with helium cooling and TRISO fuel, key challenges remain in securing HALEU fuel supply, which is limited and highly competitive, and in scaling production while controlling costs. Radiant’s focus on mobile microreactors for remote and military applications is an innovative adaptation of old technology, yet it will need to convince the market of nuclear’s benefits over alternative off-grid solutions. Further, developing a cost-effective manufacturing process for these reactors and managing complex logistics for deployment will be essential for scaling Radiant’s solution to meet market demand. Radiant has raised $165 million, including two Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II awards and one SBIR Phase I award.
